Assembly and Baking

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Remove the M&M cookie dough from the refrigerator and portion out tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll into 16 equal balls.
3. Remove the chocolate cookie dough from the refrigerator and using a medium-sized cookie scoop, portion out the dough. Divide each portion in half creating 2 small round discs of dough. Place a ball of the M&M dough inside 2 discs of chocolate dough, forming it around the M&M dough, sealing it in, creating balls.
4. Roll each chocolate cookie dough ball completely in sprinkles.
5. Place each ball of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, 3- inches apart.
6. Bake for 9-10 minutes, until the cookies are set.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
